Oh la la...when I saw the ColourQ colors yesterday, I immediately thought Christmas. The colors and my cousin, Sandie, ordering Christmas stamps had me motivated to make a couple of Christmas cards! I also used the idea from yesterday's Stretch Your Stamps...stretching your label stamps. For the first card, I kept it simple, stamped the label die, added a strip of paper, a banner, leaves and a few gems to make it look like holly.
For the second card, I like the idea of not feeling like the sentiment has to fit in the label. For my card, I used a longer banner. And...Maureen showed another idea with this same thought process earlier this week. Take a look here. All kinds of fabulous inspiration. Hope that your week is going well!
Lynn, I liked both cards. It amazes me how you can keep coming up with such good ideas!!!!
ReplyDeleteMe, too! And they look fabulous in Christmas creations! Really lovin' your little berry branches and layered frames ;)! I just did the same thing on a layout last night. I'll share, probably, closer to Friday. Sigh. This heat is killing me! I wake up feeling drained. What's the deal?!
ReplyDeletelove these...they are really simpe and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, the first one is my FAVE with the black polka dot paper strip & lovely frame. You've inspired me to start thinking about Christmas! xx
